The NSF INTERN program provides graduate students with six-month experiential learning opportunities through research internships where they acquire core professional competencies and skills. Through this collaboration, the internships will take place at the NIBIB Center for Biomedical Engineering Technology Acceleration (BETA Center).
The NSF-NIBIB collaboration will help advance NSF’s strategic workforce development objectives as well the NIBIB’s mission to transform, through technology development, our understanding of disease and its prevention, detection, diagnosis, and treatment and support the next generation of diverse, interdisciplinary researchers across the career continuum.
The opportunity will support research experiences at the BETA Center in areas of biomedical research. The opportunity seeks to fund approximately eight to 10 internships in Fiscal Year 2024, providing up to $55,000 per student for a six-month period.
This activity is arranged under a five-year memorandum of understanding (MOU) established between NSF and NIBIB in 2022. The MOU enables new and stronger collaborations between research and research communities supported by NSF and NIBIB to accelerate discovery and innovation in biotechnology.
